Miley Ray Cyrus (Birth Name – Destiny Hope Cyrus) was born on November 23, 1992 in Nashville, Tennessee. She was the daughter of Lecticia and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. She grew up in her parents’ farm outside of Nashville, Tennessee.

Cyrus started her acting career when she was just nine years old. She acted in several television series “Doc”, “Big Fish”.

All of you know that Cyrus is playing a lead character “Miley Stewart” in Disney’s Hannah Montana. Do you know that she was rejected in the audition because she was too small for the role. But she did not give up her hope. Disney again called her for the audition, and she succeed. According to Disney Channel Executive Vice President Gary Marsh, Cyrus was chosen for the show because of her energetic and lively performance and was seen as a person who “loves every minute of life”.

Miley is acting in a movie too, titled spin-off of Hannah Montana, which is gonna release on April 2009 (Re-scheduled date).

She is not only famous for her acting but also for singing talent as well. She has performed eight of the songs in Walt Disney Records of “Hannah Montana” soundtrack. Just after eight months from the release of her 1st album, she released another double album for “Hannah Montana 2 : Meet Miley Cyrus”. One of her song “see you again” got place in Top-10 in “Billboard Hot 100″. “Breakout” is Miley’s first album which had no connection with Hannah Montana Franchise. She has also signed a four-album major record deal with Hollywood Records for her own albums.

This is pretty small information about her as this is just beginning of her life. And I wish her all the success in her life.

Enjoy the songs.

According to the professor the research was “significant” but “surprising”. It was significant coz such kind of research on music would help music industry to survive. If you know the person’s music taste then you have the clear picture, who to sell to and what quantity is required. But the most surprising incident is the similarities between heavy metal and classical music lovers. It has been found that they were both creative and at ease but not outgoing.

The general public has held a fixed idea that the heavy metal fans are suicidally depressed and may cause danger to themselves and the society in general. But actually, that is not the case. They are also very delicate and sensitive beings.

Btw Prof. North is still continuing the research and I hope I would get more clue on musical taste to share with you all

Elvis was born on 8th January, 1935 in East Tupelo, Mississippi, USA. His father, Vernon was a driver and mother, Gladys Love Smith worked as a sewing machinist. He joined 1st grade at Lawhorn School in Tupelo in September, 1942. (There is an image on the right. That’s Elvis with his mother (Gladys) and father (Vernon). Image source – elvis.com.au)

He won a singing contest when he was just 10 years old. He gave his 1st performance in front of huge crowd at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show. He was dressed like cow boy and sang the song of Red Foley’s “Old Shep”. The most remarkable moment of that concert was that he was too small to reach the microphone, so he had to stand on the chair to sing comfortably. He got the 2nd position and won $5 and a free ticket to all the fair rides.

His parents gifted a guitar on his eleventh birthday. He learned the basic guitar lessons from his uncle Vester, brother of his father. (Elvis with his Guitar. Image source – elvis.com).

In 1949 Elvis moved with his family to Lauderdale Courts, a public housing development. There Elvis practiced guitar in the laundry room with his friends. Once he perhaps had gone to cafes or bars with his friends. There few other boys insisted and made him to sing, but one of them, started saying that Elvis song and guitar playing style is not gonna win any kind of prizes in the near future.

At the age of 15, he started working as an usher at Loew’s State Theater occasionally. Actually he wanted to share some part of his income for his family. But his mother asked him to quit and concentrate on his study more. Few months later he drove a truck as well, so that he can earn and share some dollar for his family. That time almost each and every truck driver used to keep long hair with a “ducktail” and Elvis did that too.

Presley was shy in nature thats why he scared to spend a night away from home even after completing his gradutation.

Elvis Presley’s First Recording and Performance:
He recorded his first song “My Happiness” with “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin” at Sun Records’ Memphis Recording Service in 18th July, 1953. Possibly this song was dedicated to his mother.

Once Sun Records boss Sam Phillips was in search for a singer who could sing a blend of black blues and boogie-woogie music. Then he found a demo recording of Elvis one of the song “Without Love (There Is Nothing)”. She invited Presley to the studio. But Presley was little nervous and could not sing perfectly.

There are more about him………….plszzzz wait for sometime.

Have a great day
